The Core Values of GROEBNER
At GROEBNER, our operations are built on a nearly 50-year foundation that combines our company values—Integrity, Quality, and Service—with our unique status as a privately held, third generation family-owned, and woman-led business. This blend empowers us to make swift, well-informed decisions, customize our services to meet specific needs, and maintain a deep understanding of our industry and our customers.
Integrity: We are committed to reliability in all our dealings. Our focus on integrity ensures that partners and clients can trust GROEBNER to consistently exceed their needs for natural gas distribution products and services. "Every interaction with GROEBNER is a demonstration of our integrity. We surround ourselves with suppliers and employees who uphold these same standards, ensuring trust and dependability in every project," Carissa Skorczewski, GROEBNER President, said.
Quality: We prioritize high quality in both our products and personnel, which is crucial for our customers’ success. The manufacturers we represent, as well as the employees we hire, are all chosen to deliver the highest quality, the latest technology, and the best value, all within the timelines required by our clients.
Service: Our commitment to integrity and quality is matched by our dedication to providing exemplary service. "At GROEBNER, service is not just a promise—it is a practice. Our team provides the highest level of service from the initial consultation through to project completion and beyond," Steven Karolewski, GROEBNER Vice President of Operations, said.
Carissa sums up our philosophy: "Our independence and family-oriented approach allow us to be nimble and responsive in ways that larger, corporate entities simply cannot match. This agility is a critical asset in meeting and exceeding the evolving needs of our customers and partners. We’re honored to work with each of our customers, suppliers, and employees and thank you for the opportunity to partner with you in your successes."
The Value of Distribution Partners
Our deep industry knowledge and extensive expertise are what set us apart. We don't just distribute products; we provide invaluable market insights and technical guidance that our manufacturers often rely on. Our ability to extend the reach of these manufacturers into markets they would otherwise struggle to penetrate is a testament to the strength of our partnership approach.
Case Studies: Demonstrating Success
One demonstration of GROEBNER’s value as a strategic distributor partner is evident in our involvement with a PA12 project with Evonik and Teel Plastics recognized as the 2023 Plastic Pipe Institute’s Project of the Year. Through this project, we effectively collaborated with key stakeholders to educate, train, and implement PA12, which significantly enhanced operational efficiency and safety standards in Zachary, Louisiana.
"Our role in the PA12 project underscores our commitment to providing tailored solutions that address specific industry challenges," Matt Dvorak, GROEBNER Vice President of Sales, said. "We not only supply products but also bring a deep understanding of the industry's needs, which allows us to drive innovation and improvement in every project we touch."
This case study is a testament to GROEBNER's ability to lead and innovate in the natural gas distribution industry, demonstrating our strategic impact on both project success and technology advancement.
Comprehensive Services Offered
Our services encompass not only training and education but also extensive support in equipment maintenance, repair, and calibration, ensuring that all parties are proficient in the latest product technologies and safety standards. Our customer support and services go beyond mere transactions; we provide ongoing support that helps prevent issues before they arise and quickly resolves those that do.
"Our commitment to excellence in service and support is unwavering," Skorczewski said. "We view every customer interaction as an opportunity to strengthen our relationships and enhance our partners' market presence."
Maintaining Independence: A Strategic Advantage
GROEBNER’s independence is not just about operational flexibility; it's about being able to genuinely focus on what our customers and partners need without the constraints of a larger corporate structure. This allows us to implement solutions and adaptations quickly, which is invaluable in a dynamic market landscape.
Building and Sustaining Long-Term Relationships
Our long-term relationships with customers are built on trust and mutual respect, aspects that are vital to creating loyalty and ensuring repeat business. These relationships also provide continuous feedback, which is essential for ongoing product and service enhancement.
"I believe much of the success of the install of our PA12 project was the in-depth training GROEBNER provided. We have been and are very pleased with the partnership we have with GROEBNER… We look forward to working with GROEBNER on many projects to come!" Evonik Business Development Manager, Terry McConnell said.
